Down at the bottom of an oldforgotten bridleway I find this!

Honestly! Some people.
As I carried on down the bridleway there were several more, I'm thinking this guy's gone to a lot of trouble, he really doesn't want cyclists down here, what's he hiding? But alas there was nothing at the end, just the exit back onto the road.

There are some at the end of paths I've been down many times that I just happen to have not noticed

Though if that's an official bridleway, I'm not sure he can do that.

Land owners try all sorts. There's a walking path near where I live that I walk down and they built some new houses there and keep trying to block off and hide the public footpath, but everyone is trampling through. If walkers are adamant about their rights of way, then so should cyclists be. It's bad enough we're told to keep off everything else, we shouldn't be denied the stupid horse tracks we're told are the only places we're allowed to ride as well.

Unfortunately the sign isn't in compliance with the UK Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (2002) linky. It's your duty as a fine and upstanding cyclist to ignore such illegal signs, mmkay

If it is genuinely on a bridleway then this needs reporting to the local authority. Also worth a word with local CTC right to ride or access rep. It may be a misunderstanding by the land owner or more likely an attempt to get access rules changed / prevent legitimate access.

......now if you really want to get the landowner into a really wound up state if/when you bump into them tell them not only do you know its a bridleway but you'll be writing to the local authority to remind them of their legal obligation to correctly signpost it where it crosses roads ....of course they'll do what they always do which is knock the signs down again but the tantrum is entertaining

Sick of walkers with dogs off leads. On monday I watched a walkers dog attack two lambs on Whinstone Lee Tor. He was shouting at it. Eventually it cameback (he didn't put it on a lead and it ran through the next gap in the wall again).

I watched this from a distance. As he closed to me he quickly popped his dog onto a lead.

On cheeky before two dogs ran off after sheep.

So if I ever see a walker give me grief I'll say 'when you lot KEEP your dogs on leads then you can lecture me'.

No it doesn't, in fact it has no 'right' at all, in law. Owners of all animals have a duty of care to ensure they are treated humanely, that's about it. And all dogs must be under control in any public or uneneclosed space, at all times.

I have no problem with dogs being kept on leads at all times. If you want it to run free, then let it do so on your own securely enclosed land. Or simply just don't own a dog, if these simple rules are beyond you.

I used to live on a sheep farm and I remember a farmer [ different place obv] asking me to put my dog on a lead she was sat heel within hand touching distance of me just sat there looking at us both whilst his ran around barking

I ignored him.....the rules are under control FWIW
this will depend on the dog and the owner...imagine that nuance eh.

FWIW every sheep dog I have seen will bite sheep if they do not move when they run at them.
